But here's my problem with the rule. Why the succeeding spot enforcement? Penalize it as a live ball foul from the spot of the foul, and take the touchdown away. I can guarantee that such a rule change would clean up this type of unsporting behaviour, maybe even faster than ejectd and suspending kids would.

Thoughts?
One thought. It's the rule. Instead of the coaches being upset with the officials why not the bonehead player who committed the foul.

If officials starting penalizing the rule as written coaches would understand it and relaize it is the player's fault for committing the stupid foul.
